Hoosier Patriots Town Hall A Major Success

On Tuesday, September 1st, Hoosier Patriots along with a number of other nefarious Right Wing Extremist groups, held a town hall at Don Halls Guest House. We were less than thrilled that the Honorable Senators Evan Bayh and Dick Lugar felt that it was unnecessary to hold a town hall meeting with their constituents to discuss the major issues being addressed in Congress. Both senators were invited to our town hall, but we developed an alternate plan just in case they were unable to attend. They were both represented by life size cardboard cutouts. Students from IPFW dressed as Secret Service agents escorted the Senators to the stage and ensured that there was no trouble from the attending mob.

It was a fantastic meeting and very well attended, nearly 500 people attended. (We were set up for 500 and they brought in more chairs just before things got rolling.) While humor was prevalent throughout the evening, everyone was respectful of their offices even though the senators were absent. DVDs will be sent to both senators to ensure that they have an opportunity to hear us. Videos will also be going up on YouTube soon.

We did receive some local press: Wane TV, Indiana News Center and the Fort Wayne News Sentinel.




One radical got out of hand and the "Secret Service" had to step in.

A pro-Obamacare rally was held on Saturday and the headline boasts, "Dozens attend people's town hall." Isn't that precious.
